Hi Sebastian,

Don't have the chance to go investigate much atm, but it could be
related to RMail and the usual lack of correct UTF-8 handling. I would
suggest you open an issue here though:

	https://github.com/sup-heliotrope/sup/issues?state=open

otherwise it can easily disappear away..

If you are bold enough #61
(https://github.com/sup-heliotrope/sup/pull/61) have initial Mail
support for ruby 2.0, it would be interesting to see if the problem is
present there.

Note: this branch is incomplete and not usable yet for sending mail.

Also, hold on to problematic emails for testing later!
